Hubby took the eldest out with one of the dogs for a walk to the market today and the youngest stayed in with me, as her asthma hasn't been to good today. The weather has been horrible, and this last hour we have had some heavy rain and some thunder. But the sky seems to be getting lighter now so hopefully no more rain!
So today 'just to do something' I made myself a birthday book using my Bind-It-All. I just love this little machine - best £30.00 I spent. I am so determined to get plenty of use out of it - I better, as my Quickutz and Cuttlebug rarely see the light of day these days. I only ever get them out if i need some letters or embossed backgrounds doing.
Front, back and inside covers were covered in K&Co paper from LCS. I got the ribbons when we went to Florida in 2006.
I used some Record Cards from local stationers and trimmed them down to the size I wanted. The little envelope is for me to keep stamps in. I also made dividers from DCVW card stack.
I printed the Months out using my computer and cut them to fit. I didn't want a really big book so I have 2 months on each divider. The last divider is for other special dates like anniversaries etc.
So I have no excuse now to miss any ones birthday! :)

I adore your works - ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!
love this one too :) great idea anniversaries
Oh My, this is Brilliant!! What a great idea. I am the worst card sender in the world. I miss so many birthdays and I even had to give my mom a non-mothers day card for mothers day (Yikes!!). I always say I will do a calendar each year with everyone noted on it but then I would have to redo that over and over. A handy little book like this is perfect. However, I don't have a BIA....Yet!! You are not helping me stay within a budget!! Haha.
Oh....and my birthday is November 3. Bwahahaha!!!!
Totally gorgeous, I love it :)
Fantastic book Donna, in fact your blog is crammed full of amazing projects and so inspiring too!
